cu3dm1 2v2 map (13 comments)

( Forum: Q3)

Posted by cuirass @ 12:07 CDT, 10 July 2008 - iMsg

Title: Uncharted
Version: 1.0
Inspiration: Naughty Dog's "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune"
Motivation: I was tired of playing 2v2 on duel maps

Notes:
- To easily learn the layout, take note of 3 key visual styles: 1) inside temple, 2) inside caves, 3) outside
- Wooden floors have been clipped to behave like solid, flat floors (with the exception of the small holes I purposely added)
- All speedbumps can be passed with skillful movement
- Designed for CPM gameplay, but maybe VQ3/CQ3 can get some use out of it as well

Having played this quite a bit through the testing phase(s) I would highly reccomend this for any CPM server that gets used for 2v2's.

There are so few optimally sized 2v2 maps that play well, so duel maps like cpm29 and cpm15 get used a lot and the experience is often less than desirable. This map, on the other hand, is a true 2v2 map and plays much more like cpm25 than the smaller 2v2 maps.

Good job.

Nice map, man. Haven't but tooled around on it by myself in vq3 but it seems totally compatible with all gameplay's.

Mirror scared the shit out of me the first time as I was running up to it expecting another room. :))

Wow man nice job on the texturing and theme, I usually don't care much about the looks of a game but we need more stuff like this!

edit: Oh my fucking god, I read about the mirror but still it scared the shit out of me

i'm glad you like it. the majority of the textures were made by Simon O'Callaghan. you can find more of his work here: http://simonoc.com/pages/design.htm

Looks promising, I see it's version 1 but the geometry and texturing could benefit a lot from some polish. Trisoup the rock walls and you could make them look much more effective and benefit from the Phong shading in those Sock texture/shaders (automatic, just avoid sharp angles. Also some of the textures such as the main grass area would look much better if you alpha blended them, so for the grass blend from earth around the well to grass.

thanks for the tips. i didn't even know what trisouping or phong shaders were, but i just looked them up. it seems a little overwhelming, but i'll mess around with it some. it's probably more work than it's worth, though, when so many people use the NES configs :/

Well for not much effort learning those you can look like a pretty amazing mapper. Have a look at sock's website for really good tutorials on those methods.

Also the water fall could be much sexier, check out wvwq3dm7 for a nice water fall texture.

The textures could use some work. They look somewhat weird.

The 10 picmip screenshot is way better on the eye.

this isn't supposed to sound mean, but: what do you want from me?

are you referring to the textures themselves? i didn't make them

are you referring to the way i applied them? what don't you like about that? there isn't much else of a way to do it aside from the suggestions ix made about the grass that i'm even aware of and there's only so many textures in the "pack"

You could soften and vary the light level, that's why it looks a bit harsh at the moment. Try placing some torches or other visible light sources and reducing the light value of the skybox.
